Yo
I'm probably in the best place in the world.
This is a Big Vally called Kinnour, and I'm staying in a Village called Kalpa, and i have probably the world Best views from my terrace. I love it.
I haven't written in a while so I'll explain how i got here, I left Shimla in the direction of a place called Sarahan, and spent the night there, at a 13 century wooden temple. really chilled place but the monastery is also the alarm clock of the village and the monks put awful hit India music at 5 am to make sure everybody wakes up for work. also me, and i have no work. Since this wasn't good fun, me and an English block Steve who i have shared a plate of Momo (these are Davine Tibetan dumplings) the night before, decided to take a taxi to go to the next village down the road (5 hours drive), i cant really explain how AMAZING ride it was. i have some pics but really it can never capture those huge valleys, rivers. i just cant explain. Of course there's a small road on the edge of the cliff, and cars truck bike

bview from my room
people etc are all sharing it. at some point i was really scared. anyway i reach Sangla in happy spirit and got organized at a dorm room for 75 Rupee (1.5 euro). Sangla was nice place with good views and nice walks, but i decided to leave for an organized trek in the mountains above it. it took 3 days to complete but i could have well be done in one day but the Sunset we have seen was well worth the nights we spent in a cold and wet tent. from there i took a morning bus to the capital of the district called Rekong Peo. and from there a bus ride to Kalpa, this bus ride was funny there most have been 100 people in a where as the bus can only contain 40. You get close to the local people here. I found Steve and we took a room with the best view ever. we got installed, met loads of Israeli cool girls and started to relax (its really hard work). the big thing going on now is that the Dalai Lama is visiting here and is giving classes, so yesterday and today we set there listening (to be honest i don't really understand it) but I'm trying to. this is really a short version of the events that happened in last 10 day, its been only 10 day but a lot had hap pend, however Internet here is not the best so i can't really write much i guess in two weeks after i complete the tour of Spiti and come back to a place where internet is better, i'll sit down and write more.
i'm uploading pics, but only two the internet connection is too slow

peace
P.S 30 is coming soon.....
